If you have a sensitive skin you can make use of any soothing products to treat any redness or irritation.
2. Moisturize and prime
It’s essential to moisturize your skin and also prime before applying any makeup. This makes it possible for your makeup to sit right. Applying a sunblock also protects you from the sun. Always pick a moisturizer based on your skin type – oily, dry, both. A good primer not only covers pores but also creates a flawless and smooth base for your foundation so pick wisely.
3. Apply Foundation
When creating a natural makeup look always pick a foundation with light coverage. Liquid foundations are always best for a natural look. When applying, always apply evenly with a brush or sponge, starting sparingly and then blending properly around the ear, jaws and hairline for a perfect finish.
4. Apply concealer
`Concealer is important and a must for a perfect makeup look but make sure to apply sparingly for a natural makeup look. You could also use two different shades for different purpose; one as same shade with your foundation for blemishes and two shades lighter for dark circles. Always apply concealer with a brush and blend in properly with your fingers.
5. Apply powder
After applying your concealer properly, you could also dust in some setting powder to set properly. Also stay away from bronzers.
6. Blush
For a perfect natural makeup look, a touch of blush is always essential. It gives one a nice glow. When it comes to picking a suitable blush color, a natural flush ( apricot, mauve and a pale pink) is always the best. To apply for a natural look, use a fluffy brush and start at the cheeks then blend to give a perfect finish.
7. Apply Eyeliner
Applying eyeliner to a natural makeup is completely optional. If you opt for one then you should only apply it on the upper eye line. Instead of applying eyeliner you could also curl up your lashes to enhance the shape of the eyes. Also keep away from extra techniques and opt for darker colors like black or brown.
8. Moisturizing your lips
Nobody wants a dry and chapped lips so for this reason it is good and advisable to exfoliate one’s lips. Exfoliating not only gives a healthy lips but also brings out its natural color. So next time before you apply a lip balm make sure to exfoliate to remove dead skin cell and give you a healthy looking lips.
9. Applying eye-shadow
Since its a natural look, neutral colors like beige, peach is most suitable. A color which is one shade darker than your skin tone is also suitable.

You also require lesser product for it. A natural makeup look enhances your natural features in a subtle way. So next time you want to makeup why don’t you try this look? Am sure you would love it.
